| Why
is Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice
so good for you? |
| If
you cannot see the orange being cut,
how do you know if it is freshly squeezed? |
Freshly
Squeezed Orange Juice Contains: |
Vitamin
C Antioxidant; needed for healthy skin, bones, teeth,
gums and blood. Aids resistance to infection and iron absorption.
Vitamin C is necessary for healing
the body from ordinary cuts to infections, such as the common
cold. |
Folic
Acid - B Vitamin Reduces risk of spina bifida during
pregnancy, also helps reduce risk of heart disease. |
Potassium
Helps regulate blood pressure, heartbeat, nerve and
muscle functions. |
As
most people do not eat enough fresh fruit and vegetables daily
freshly squeezed juices are a quick, and enjoyable
way of getting the vitamins and minerals
necessary for the good functioning of the body. The
vitamins and minerals from freshly squeezed juices are absorbed
as quickly as 15 minutes within the body but whole
fruit can take up to 6 hours, in which time a considerable
proportion is by-passed as waste. |
Some
orange juice would be picked, juice frozen, shipped to the
UK , and water, sugar, malic acid added, heat treated, packed
and sold - As freshly squeezed!!! |
Freshly
squeezed orange juice is virtually fat
free and contains no added sugar, salt or additives,
unlike most shop bought orange juice. Freshly squeezed juices
have enzymes that aid digestion.
Enzymes are not in 'pure' juices as they pasteurised. |
The
body cannot store Vitamin C or B-Complex
yet the body requires a minimum amount every day |
Cooking
severely reduces nutritional value by killing enzymes and
"washing away" vitamins and minerals, Fresh Juices
are "raw" and high in nutritional
value, Most people know that Vitamin C is present in
citrus fruit but there is also pectin's that reduce the risk
of heart disease and flavoniods
that are thought to reduce the risk
of cancer. |
Government
recommended daily intake for Vitamin
C is 60mg, 1/2 pint of Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice
contains 100mg. 90 calories in
each 1/2 pint on average |
RAW
JUICES ARE BETTER FOR YOU THAN SOFT DRINKS, TEA OR COFFEE |
PURE
JUICE FROM CONCENTRATE CAN BE 6-12 MONTHS OLD. TYPICALLY CONCENTRATES
ARE RECONSTITUTED BY USING ORDINARY TAP WATER!!! |
